This seems pretty ridiculous, for an enterprise network with 20,000+ end users, where is the incentive to pay $140,000 per month with minimal, if any, increased profit margins using windows 10 over windows 7?

    Support?

    Those end users probably average more than $50,000 annual cost, so while $140,000 looks like a nice big number, the context is $80,000,000 per month of other employment costs.

    You'll just have to wait till windows 7 doesn't get any more security patches.

I guess now we get to find out if King Nadella can extract a tax from his subjects.

To me, Windows (and MacOS) are so relatively set that I could go without upgrades for a long time. I don't see how these are services...

Can non enterprise users purchase enterprise licenses to avoid the worst of the Telemetry, ads, etc?

I wonder if security patches will be free.
